THE THANG:
After a brief mosey the PAX gathered around the circle at the 50-yard line to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non-denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a merkin was performed collectively by the group. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
• 50 yard line – pair up, 1 PAX carries the Festivus pole to the goal line and back while the other PAX does a high knee skip. Switch exercises at the goal line: o Mountain Climbers
o Star Jumps
o LBC’s
o Heisman Shuffle
• Mosey to the playground – 3 rounds of max effort for pull ups while remaining PAX performs o Soccer kicks
o Peter Parkers
o Freddie Mercuries
• Mosey to the blocks for 2 rounds of Upper Deckers, Dips and Derkins – 20 reps each
• Ring of Festivus Fire – 5 goblet squats with the pole while remaining PAX hold plank
• 2nd Ring of Festivus Fire which was a terrible idea –1 PAX bear crawling around the circle, 1 PAX performing goblet squat or stationary rifle carry with the pole while remaining PAX held Al Gore

MARY: Flutter Kicks, Alabama Prom Date, Nolan Ryan’s

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Horizon 12/25 beatdown, ARC, AMBAB

COT: Traditions are important, no matter how silly or insulting they can be. Whichever holiday you celebrate, real, fictitious, or nothing at all….I wish all of you and your families a safe and happy December and a joyous New Year.
